“I don’t feel safe, in the day or at night. There’s still stuff going off at all hours.

“There’s so many teenagers starting fights and causing trouble. I hear them fighting outside my house at two and three in the morning.

“We don’t really see the police around here, I think I would feel safer if we did.”

A police spokesman said: “Police were called to reports shots had been fired in the Manor area of Sheffield.

“Officers believe there may have been an altercation between people known to each other and officers remain in the community carrying out enquiries.”

The spokesman said they do not believe the two gun crime incidents are linked.

He added: “Police were called at around 12.20am, when a car containing four men in balaclavas are reported to have fired shots at another car in Longley Avenue West after following it from Penrith Road.

“Following a search of the local area, a car believed to be involved was later recovered abandoned and on fire in Nestfield Way, Sheffield.

“Nobody was injured during the incident and officers remain in the area carrying out enquiries and providing reassurance.

“At this time, it is thought that the incident involves individuals known to each other but officers are keeping an open mind.”

n Anyone with information on either incident should call South Yorkshire Police on 101.
